When selling your house choosing the right listing agent for you and your home is critical. You are trusting what is likely your biggest investment to someone you may not even know. How do you select this person? Jay Thompson, Director of Industry Outreach at Zillow, discusses the importance of the right listing agent, and how to find one, with Realtors and hosts Tracy and Kathy Nelson.

Jay was the Designated Broker and a co-owner of Thompson’s Realty — an independent real estate brokerage based in Phoenix, Arizona. Thompson’s Realty had agents across the Phoenix Metro area as well as a branch office in Tucson, AZ. In March 2012 he decided to shift his career in real estate and follow his passions of working in the real estate technology field, working in social media, and helping other agents and brokers. He joined Zillow as their Director of Industry Outreach & Social Media on March 26, 2012.
